In our film "Tracy" we had a scene featuring one of the characters secret comic book collection. We created over 30 original comic book covers, most of which go completely unnoticed in the 3 to 4 minute scene. For the next few months I'll post one a week so that they can finally get their due.

I did this one based on the classic Jim Davis character Garfield as well as my cat Monkey. Both were slightly over weight, but Monkey didn't eat lasagna, no cat eats lasagna, I don't think Jim Davis ever had a cat.

Next time you're at the mall try this out, take a photo of a headless mannequin, then take a photo of your head under the same light and let photoshop fun take it from there. This week's mannequin photo shoot special guest is my Brother Bill Scanlon. We shot this one at the Oakland Mall in Michigan...

Here's one we shot of me a few years ago at Fishermen's Wharf in SF...

A few months ago I found out about a website called "Covered" where artist cover famous comic book covers in their own styles, needless to say, the 12 year old nerd inside me got very excited! Here are some examples...

The blog is run by artist Robert Goodin. I really wanted to cover a comic myself. After thinking about it for a week or so I decided to take on one of the most iconic comic covers of all time; the 1963 Jack Kirby classic, X-men number one. Here is my "cover" of that comic...

For those of you who haven't seen it, this is the trailer to our live action comedy called "Tracy" about a 1970's children's show host...

In the "Tracy" we had a scene featuring one of the character's secret comic book collection. We created over 30 original comic book covers, most of which go completely unnoticed in the 3 to 4 minute scene. For the next few months I'll post one a week so that they can finally get their due.

I did this one. I'm not sure what the style is, other than an uncomfortable, creepy Harry Potter like school for whimsical mermen.
